I have mostly been reporting what I have read. I have not looked into it
myself.

This idea is new in Creationary circles. It is being tossed about that the
strata that has been fairly recently reinterpreted as turbidite might
instead be interpreted as mega-tsunami deposits. Modern tsunami deposition
is very similar to turbidite deposition. If a global catastrophe occurres
because of a series or family of asteroids striking the planet in a short
time, one might ask are there any non-impact related deposits.

I just went to his site and read it. I realized that He has published the
same idea in CRSQ. I think it is a fairly good model. I'd like to see him
consider the part impacts played in providing much needed energy needed for
a global catastrophe.
